About Me

I'm new to MySpace - It'll probably take me awhile, but I'll get some photos and other stuff on soon... I'm married to a wonderful man, and we have three beautiful daughters who we're sooo proud of. As a follower of Christ, my desire is to grow in my relationship with Him and see others come to know him as well.The following poem (written by Maya Angelou) called, "Christian" speaks my heart.When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean living", I'm whispering "I was lost, now I'm found and forgiven".When I say..."I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride, I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong, I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success; I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I'm worth it.When I say..."I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain, I have my share of heart aches so, I call upon His name.When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace somehow.

My Interests

Hanging out with family and friends, playing cards, dominoes, gardening, bike riding and going for long walks. I love sitting out on my front porch with my husband and sipping fresh juice we've made. Oh - and Chocolate. Did someone say chocolate? Also, I've enjoyed messing around with trying out new recipes. Folks have said I make a killer pizza...!

Too many to name, but suffice it to say all the folks who lived in Biblical days.

Music:

Contemporary Christian music and light jazz. My favorite Christian artists would be Reuben Morgan,Casting Crowns, Mercy Me, Chris Tomlin and well, alot of others.

This was sent to me in an e-mail, and I thought it would be great to share with you all... Sorry, but I don't know who the author is.  A woman was Christmas shopping with her two children.  ...
